The single-cell RNA sequencing for α-gustducin-positive taste cells

ABSTRACT: Taste buds are complex sensory organs that are embedded in the epithelium of fungiform papillae (FP) and circumvallate papillae (CV). The sweet, bitter, and umami taste are sensed by type II taste cells that expressed taste receptors (Tas1rs and Tas2rs) which coupled with taste G-protein α-gustducin. Recent studies revealed that the taste response profiles of α-gustducin-expressing cells are different between FP and CV. We applied the high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to profile the transcriptome of the α-gustducin-expressing taste cells in both fungiform and circumvallatae papillae with transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP).

Expression data from macaque taste buds and lingual epithelium

Project description:Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely focused on rodents. The first comprehensive database of gene expression in primate (Macaca fascicularis) taste buds is presented. This database provides a foundation for further studies in diverse aspects of taste biology. A taste bud gene expression database was generated using laser capture microdissection (LCM) of tissue freeze medium OTC embedded macaque tongue tissue blocks. We collected fungiform (FG) taste buds at the front of the tongue, circumvallate (CV) taste buds at the back of the tongue, as well as non-gustatory lingual epithelium (LE). Gene expression was also analyzed in the top and bottom portions of CV taste buds collected using LCM. Samples were collected from 10 animals - 7 female, 3 male.

High Sox2 expression predicts taste lineage competency of lingual progenitors in vitro

Project description:Taste buds on the tongue are collections of taste receptor cells (TRCs) that detect sweet, sour, salty, umami and bitter stimuli. Like non-taste lingual epithelium, TRCs are renewed from basal keratinocytes, many of which express the transcription factor SOX2. Genetic lineage tracing has shown SOX2+ lingual progenitors give rise to both taste and non-taste lingual epithelium in the posterior circumvallate taste papilla (CVP) of mice. However, SOX2 is variably expressed among CVP cells suggesting that their progenitor potential may vary. Using transcriptome analysis and organoid technology, we show highly expressing SOX2+ cells are taste-competent progenitors that give rise to organoids comprising both TRCs and lingual epithelium, while organoids derived from low-expressing SOX2+ progenitors are composed entirely of non-taste cells. Hedgehog and WNT/ß-catenin are required for taste homeostasis in adult mice, but only WNT/ß-catenin promotes TRC differentiation in vitro and does so only in organoids derived from higher SOX2+ taste lineage-competent progenitors.

Inflammation induces bitter taste oversensitization via epigenetic changes in Tas2r gene clusters

Project description:T2R bitter receptors, encoded by Tas2r genes, are not only critical for bitter taste signal transduction but also important for defense against bacteria and parasites. However, little is known about whether and how Tas2r gene expression are regulated. Here, using single-cell assays for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (scATAC-seq), we found that the chromatin accessibility of Tas2rs was highly cell type specific and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation increased the accessibility of many Tas2rs. scATAC-seq also revealed substantial chromatin remodeling in immune response genes in taste tissue stem cells, suggesting potential long-term effects. Together, our results suggest an epigenetic mechanism connecting inflammation, Tas2r gene regulation, and altered bitter taste, which may explain heightened bitter taste that can occur with infections and cancer treatments.

TMC4 is a novel chloride channel involved in high-concentration salt taste sensation

Project description:Taste substances are received by taste receptors expressed in taste cells. “Salty taste” sensation is evoked when sodium and chloride ions are present together in the oral cavity. The presence of an epithelial cation channel that receives Na+ has previously been reported. However, no molecular entity involving Cl- receptors has been elucidated. We report the strong expression of transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4) in the circumvallate and foliate papillae projected to the glossopharyngeal nerve, mediating a high-concentration of NaCl. Electrophysiological analysis using HEK293T cells revealed that TMC4 was a voltage-dependent Cl- channel and the consequent currents were completely inhibited by NPPB, an anion channel blocker. This channel could be activated without an increase in intracellular calcium ion. TMC4 allowed permeation of organic anions including gluconate, but their current amplitudes at positive potentials were less than that of Cl-. Tmc4-deficient mice showed significantly weaker glossopharyngeal nerve response to high-concentration of NaCl than the wild-type littermates. These results indicated that TMC4 is a novel chloride channel that responds to high-concentration of NaCl.

Taste papilla cell differentiation requires the regulation of secretory protein production by ALK3-BMP signaling in the tongue mesenchyme

Project description:Taste papillae are specialized organs, each of which comprises an epithelial wall hosting taste buds and a core of mesenchymal tissue. In the present study, we report that during early taste papilla development in mouse embryos, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling mediated by type 1 receptor ALK3 in the tongue mesenchyme is required for the epithelial Wnt/β-catenin activity and taste papilla differentiation.

Human Tongue Fungiform Papilla Transcriptome and Proteome Reveal Sex Differences in Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA, Immune Response and Metabolism Genes [array]

Project description:Fungiform papillae (FP) are visible protrusions on the anterior tongue surface that contain taste buds, their nerves, and capillaries, epithelial cells, stromal cells, and immune-surveilling cells. As FP are easily biopsied in a minimally invasive procedure and have been shown to regrow, we compared three different mechanical methods of FP protein extraction and found that mechanical disruption of FP under liquid nitrogen or bead beating were more efficient than mincing in terms of yield and proteomic profile. A successful protocol to extract RNA from individual FP using bead beating was employed for transcriptomic analysis by RNA sequencing and microarray. Relative to female FP, male FP proteomes and transcriptomes showed predominant expression of Y chromosome-encoded Y antigens, such as EIF1AY, DDX3Y, SMCY, NLGN4Y, UTY, and PCDH11Y, validating our findings. We further found significantly higher levels of Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA)-associated transcripts and HLA-A protein levels in males than in females. Several long intergenic non-coding (LINC) RNAs exhibit sex-specific expression, in particular LIN02888 with unknown function is more highly expressed in female relative to male FP. Transcripts in the interferon response pathway a key element of the innate immune system's defense against pathogens exhibits differential regulation between the sexes. This indicates that FP biopsy is a minimally invasive method to obtain human tissue in order to study, for example, age-related and sex specific changes of interest, while allowing for dynamic investigation of interindividual differences over time in the context of both health and disease.

Transcriptomic analysis of circumvallate papillae (CVP) from lean and DIO mice

Project description:Diet-induced obesity (DIO) is associated with a decreased oral fat detection in rodents. This blunted gustatory detection has been explained by an impairment of the lipid-mediated signaling in taste bud cells (TBC). However, factors responsible for this defect remain elusive. To better understand the mechanisms involved, circumvallate papillae from Lean, DIO and former DIO mice were analyzed with a transcriptomic approach.

Bitter taste cells in the ventricular walls of the murine brain regulate glucose homeostasis

Project description:The median eminence (ME) is a circumventricular organ at the base of the brain that controls body homeostasis. Tanycytes are its specialized glial cells that constitute the ventricular walls and regulate different physiological states, however individual signaling pathways in these cells are incompletely understood. Here, we identify a functional tanycyte subpopulation that expresses key taste transduction genes including bitter taste receptors, the G protein gustducin and the gustatory ion channel TRPM5 (M5). M5 tanycytes have access to blood-borne cues via processes extended towards diaphragmed endothelial fenestrations in the ME and mediate bidirectional communication between the cerebrospinal fluid and blood. This subpopulation responds to metabolic signals including leptin and other hormonal cues and is transcriptionally reprogrammed upon fasting. Acute M5 tanycyte activation induces insulin secretion and acute diphtheria toxin-mediated M5 tanycyte depletion results in impaired glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice. We provide a cellular and molecular framework that defines how bitter taste cells in the ME integrate chemosensation with metabolism.

Human intestinal bitter taste receptors regulate innate immune responses and metabolic regulators in obesity

Project description:An expression profiling was conducted to analyse the effect of the bitter tasting compounds denatonium benzoate (DB) or aloin on the transcriptome of human jejunal crypts compared to DMEM-treated crypts. These two bitter compounds are agonists for the human bitter taste receptor TAS2R43. We took advantage of a deletion polymorphism for TAS2R43, that exists in about 33% of the population to compare the effects of the TAS2R43 agonists in obese subjects that express (TAS2R43(+)) or do not express (TAS2R43(-)) TAS2R43. Primary jejunal crypts from lean (multi-organ donors) or obese (RYGB surgery) subjects were cultured for 24 hours and treated for 4 hours with either DMEM (control) or 1 mM DB or 30 µM aloin. In total 48 mRNA samples were subjected to RNAseq analysis.
